    <center><b>The Facilitation of Social Networks in Campus Housing</b></center>
  </div>
  <div class="section">
    You are invited to be in a research study about how the built environment influences the formation of 
    social networks. You were selected as a possible participant because you live in one of the three 
    residence halls (Loughran, Madonna, Regina) selected for inclusion in the first stage of this study. We 
    ask that you read this form and ask any questions you may have before agreeing to be in the study.
    <br><br>
    This study is being conducted by Joseph F. Cabrera, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Marywood 
    University.

    <div class="sectionTitle">Background Information</div>
    The purpose of this study is to understand how, why, and where social connections are formed in a 
    residence hall environment.  Findings from this study will help researchers understand how the 
    built environment affects social connections and their formation, including helping to explain what 
    types of social network structures are more likely to lead to "community."  In addition, findings will 
    identify how students' social networks affect academic success and student satisfaction with their 
    college experience. This study is an independent research project being conducted by Dr. Cabrera 
    in the Social Science Department of Marywood University

    <div class="sectionTitle">Procedures</div>
    If you agree to be in this study, we would ask you to do the following things. You will need to sign 
    onto the study website and follow the instructions, filling out information about your own personal 
    charactericts (i.e. age, race/ethnicity, sex, etc.), information about which residence hall and campus 
    amenities you use and how often you use them (i.e. study areas, common rooms, cafeteria), as well 
    as information about the structure of your social networks (i.e.  who are your friends in the residence 
    halls).  You will also be asked to fill out a couple of open-ended questions about a small subsample 
    of your friendship network, which are used to understand where and how these friendships 
    developed.  This survey should only take about 20 minutes to complete.  This study has three 
    phases: one at the beginning, one in the middle, and one at the end of the semester.  The last two 
    phases will be shorter and will take about 10 minutes to complete.  To compensate respondents for 
    their time, at the end of each phase two $25 Pacer Point Cards and one "floor" pizza party will be 
    raffled off to students who have completed that phase.  Also, students will receive one entry for the 
    iPad raffle for each phase of the study they complete.  Thus, students who complete all three 
    phases of the study will receive three entries for the end of the study raffle for an iPad.

    <div class="sectionTitle">Risks and Benefits of Being in the Study</div>
    This study has: <b>Risks no greater than those experienced in daily life or activities</b>
    <br><br>
    This study will benefit the field of social networks in a number of ways.  Results from this study will help 
    to answer questions about how social connections are formed, what the structure of “community” looks 
    like, and how social networks contribute to academic success.
    <br><br>
    The benefits to participation are that you will learn the make-up of your own social network via a
    graphical reprsentation of your social network as well as scores of your centrality and influence within the 
    network.  This information will be provided to all respondents at the end of phase three of the study.

    <div class="sectionTitle">Confidentiality</div>

    locked file. While it is understood that no computer transmission can be perfectly secure, reasonable 
    efforts will be made to protect the confidentiality of your transmission of the survey information.
    Records will be kept for an indefinite amount of time in a completely de-identified manner.
